James Albert Kaspar ….


James Albert Kaspar 1924-2023 James (Jim) Kaspar was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, WWII combat veteran, and a lifelong believer in the Catholic faith. Jim had been a resident of Leisure World, Seal Beach, for more than 30 years. He passed away peacefully in his sleep in Long Beach, California, on Oct. 3, 2023. The family had been looking forward to having his 100th birthday celebration in March 2024. In honor of his amazing life, the family has decided to celebrate his life at multiple events during the weekend of March 9-11 in Seal Beach and Long Beach. James is survived by his wife of 67 years, Margaret L. Kaspar and his four children Margaret (Peggy) Kaspar, James William Kaspar, Michael Joseph Kaspar, David Patrick Kaspar. All who knew him had their lives blessed by him and will miss him dearly. With Jim’s passing, as well as the recent passing of his youngest brother Frank X. Kaspar, the world is saying farewell to the Greatest Generation that has ever lived. Jim and his four brothers all served this country with honor and distinction in WWII and Korean Wars. They all loved and honored their respective families. If we have to explain to you what a wonderful man Jim was, you clearly didn’t know him. Daddy, Rest In Peace.
